US President Joe Biden, along with NASA administration and Vice President of scientists Kamala Harris, presented on Monday the first full-color scientific image of the universe from the James Webb telescope, which was launched into space last December.
Ukrinform’s own correspondent called it one of the examples of the US president being a land of opportunity and achieving truly great things.
“This has become a new window into the history of our universe,” Biden said, assessing the importance of launching the James Webb telescope, which was able to obtain high-quality images of outer space.
The President emphasized that the images obtained are a historic moment for science and technology, astronomy and space exploration. It also reminds the world that America can “do great things”. According to him, it also shows what heights can be reached and how much more humanity has to explore.
Officially released Monday, the image shows a dense cluster of bright galaxies, as well as a picture of smaller galaxies further away. This is a documentary view of the furthest depths humanity has taken as it explores the universe, both in terms of distance and time, considering the light that has reached us for over 13.8 billion years.

As reported by Ukrinform, the newest and most powerful telescope “James Webb” (James Webb) Launched into space at the end of December worth $10 billion. The observatory’s main goals include the study of the first exoplanets, protostars. It was nuclear reactions in these objects that contributed to the formation of the first heavy atoms necessary for life – carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur.
